Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown made an unusual offer to a suspected car thief Monday: Return his ride and he won’t press charges.
The vehicle was later found just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia in Camden, N.J., and a suspect was taken into custody, according to Fox 29 News.
Brown, a three-time Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl LIX champion, posted his plea on social media after his vehicle disappeared on Sunday night.
“Dear Philly, To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you,” Brown wrote on X. “Bring back my car and I won’t press charges, or when I find you today, it’s going to be what it’s going to be. Take it or leave it my guy.”
Brown, 27, and the defending champion Eagles started their offseason workouts on Monday.
He topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his first three seasons with Philadelphia and enters 2025 with 446 catches for 7,026 yards and 49 touchdowns in 90 games (82 starts) with the Tennessee Titans (2019-21) and Eagles.
Brown did not specify the make or model of the vehicle in question, and it was not immediately clear if he had contacted the authorities.
